About the adventure

The game focuses on a group of friends you'll be joining. They often solve mysteries, similar to the gang in Stranger Things, including an NPC who is not entierly normal... The campaign is mostly episodic, as I give players notes on potential leads they can follow whenever they feel like it and after each mystery is solved, they report to The White Guard, which is officially employing them. Most mysteries are related to a place called "The Garden" which is a mostly flooded and ruined, while also retaken by nature, part of the town. Most people are forbidden to go there, because it is too dangerous, but your group of teens are allowed in, thanks to that deal with the guard... The game focuses just as much on the mystery, light-horror and sci-fi elements, as it does on teenage and small town fighting a big corporate entity drama. So far in the game, players managed to befriend a cyborg girl and make the mentioned deal with The White Guard, instead of sneaking into The Garden illegally. You can either join as a kid who sneaks in there by themselves, or a kid who also made a deal and has been "added" to their group by the White Guard.

About me

I enjoy hosting and narrating games. Love worldbuilding and allowing others to enter a world I made and forge their story in it... I invite both chaos and order in there, as long as everyone is having fun and getting something valuable from the whole experience. I believe in player agency and the idea that derailing stories is not an issue, but a challenge. The world should be open for players to explore and I like hosting systems that facilitate that.
